==Logo== [[File:Sinulog 2010 Harrywad15.JPG|thumbnail|The coat of arms, as part of the Sinulog Foundation logo, behind Higantes]] The Cebu City Historical Committee, which is responsible for the conceptualization of Sinulog as a provincial event, decided{{When|date=March 2025}} to adopt a logo to identify it as an institutionalized yearly event. They turned to the coat of arms of the Santo Niño, which consists of a two-headed hawk, the mark of the ruling [[House of Habsburg]] in Europe. At the time when Spain sent expeditions to the Philippines, it was under the Habsburg dynasty. The emblem represented the twin purpose of the Habsburg dynasty as "Champion of Catholicism and Defender of the Faith".<ref name="coa">{{cite news|last1=Herrera|first1=Christine|title='Bypassed' Cebu to hold grand Sinulog|url=http://manilastandardtoday.com/news/-main-stories/top-stories/167030/-bypassed-cebu-to-hold-grand-sinulog.html|access-date=March 20, 2016|publisher=The Standard|date=December 31, 2014}}{{dead link|date=March 2025}}</ref> The committee chose to use an indigenous warrior's shield, symbolizing Filipino resistance to colonization, with the Santo Niño's coat of arms printed on its face, representing the country's acceptance of Christianity.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}
